So it is now 2005. I guess we are all wondering what it will bring for us. For me, I hope my new job goes well and that we manage to get our house looking wonderful without going bankrupt first!
I must spare a thought for the inestimable number of people whose lives will never be the same again in Asia and throughout the world. I know it has been blogged about a million times already and I have nothing original to say except that I remember them in my thoughts and prayers every day and will contribute what I can. I guess I am aware that tehre are many people also in desperate need in other parts of the world too and we mustnt forget them because the Tsunami is more in the headlines. But clearly all the attention it is getting is well warranted. The world is pulling together very well and I am continously amazed at the generosity of the public.
I start my new job on Wednesday. The reality of it is slowly sinking in I think!
Today we are off to buy tiles for our kitchen in the sale. Let's hope they havent all already gone!
WE had a great New year in bristol with my two best university friends, their 'men' and a ncouple of other couples. We had a great feed up and then played brilliant games like the chocolate game (know that one? the hats, gloves and scarf when thrown a six and to eat chocolate until the next person gets a six- except we were all so full we played the game of eating as little as poss until the next person relieved us!), spoon game (two varities!), wine tasting, underground quiz etc. It was such a laugh and a great way to enter 2005...
